Blimey! You've all done spiffingly well with this task so far. As of five minutes ago here is how everything stands:
Bob is still in the lead. Just. Although he does have an extra 9 votes that have been definitely verified as having gone to Angelalala, so really he's got 154, and she's got 44.
Spanish Goth and bedshaped had better be worried. Well, maybe not so worried in Goth's case seeing as he hasn't really grasped this task by the horns and appears to be actively trying to get evicted, which is, you know, fair enough.
I did say though that I was going to award extra votes/points for inventiveness so here are the first bonus points of the week:
Angelalala - 5 points, for selling a donkey. Bravo.
Ordinary Girl - 10 points, for the inevitable gratuitous boob shot.
Joseph and Penfold - 15 points, to Joseph for getting Emma Kennedy to vote for you, and to Penfold for using the wrath of God as a tool for bribery. See you at church eh?
bedshaped - 20 points, for setting up about 25 (okay, seven) websites all aimed at getting people to stumble across you and vote for you. Nice one!
Which makes everything Very Squeaky Bum at the rear end of the poll.
Goth, you're last, which I'm sure you'll be very pleased to hear, and Ordinary Girl, you're second to last, so it's clearly time to show a bit more than just cleavage...
In the same vein, I've seen that everyone seems to be using the 'I'll get naked if I win this' technique to try and get people to vote for them. This will not help you get bonus points (unless there are boobs or willies involved and there are pictures) and is quite clearly a technique that doesn't work, going by the totals so far.
Here's a little something to test you: As an extra incentive I shall award 50 bonus points to the first housemate to take this task out of the virtual world and into the real world, and to get people to vote for you by doing it. Email me the proof and the points are yours.
And please can everyone remember that you still have to post your house rules as part of this task. It's not just about pimping; it's about what you do with it once you've won it. And that's the best bit!
Ps. Little Blogger is unofficially lost and officially not in charge of the Diary Room anymore. I'm laying the law down. From henceforth Medium-sized Blogger, ie. Me, will be taking requests and interviewing all housemates as and when I or they fancy. Plus, thanks to bedshaped, The Wurzels will be doing a gig for you all at the weekend in the pink fuzzy place, so be there or don't be a barley-munching farmer type. I'm sure you can hardly wait to sing along to that party favourite, "I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester". I know I can't!
Bollocks. All those bonus votes are going to make me last. Do you want that boob shot?

Yup.

I wouldn't worry about it Cat, I think I'm for the chop!!

That's negative thinking O.G. Stop it! Stop it right now and get your thinking cap on (and your clothes off).
I can't believe I just thought that out loud.
This site is becoming too filthy for words, and it's all Penfold's fault.

If my sign doesn't work in the pub there may well still be boobs...
Posted by: Angelalala | Thursday, 28 June 2007 at 23:02
If I wasn't so consistently nasty about people on my blog, I'd do a sign as well, but I fear for my friendships (as well as my life) more than I fear eviction!

I would argue that threatening (and I use that word advisedly) to post pictures of yourself nude does work...

True Mr Angry, true.
But you're still not winning are you? AND you do have to get naked.
I think we need to have a seperate vote about what actually constitutes a win.

I gave out mini flyers at my Life Club the other night (which I can scan and send to you) and I can have members of said club email you and say they voted.
Is that out of virutal enough?
Posted by: bob | Friday, 29 June 2007 at 01:31
Oh brilliant. So not only is he trouncing everyone with the numbers, bob is now completing bonus challenges before they're even set!
Posted by: Angelalala | Friday, 29 June 2007 at 09:27
Okay, okay! 50 points to the first person to do it, but 100 POINTS to the person who in my opinion comes up with the most fantastical non-virtual method of pimping in the real world.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I see no trouncing. Especially with the hanging chads and the well-defined abdominals of a certain angry competitor.
Hmmm, how do I get a Big Blogger float into this weekend's Pride parade ...
